During the hunting season Ken arms himself with his bow and arrows(30% of the time) or his rifle(70% of the time).
If Ken uses his archery skills to bag his game the probabilities of success are: turkey=60%, deer=80%, and bear 30%
However if he uses his rifle, his success probabilities rise to: turkey=80%, deer 90%, and bear 60%
What is the probability of Ken making a triple kill this hunting season?
a. 0.0432
b. 0.3024
c. 0.3456
d. 0.6544
e. none of the above
You don't have enough information. Obviously if he hunts 8 hours a day every
day during the entire hunting season he is much more likely to bag a triple
kill than if he only goes hunting once or twice for only a few hours the whole
season.
